IMPROVEMENT IN LINE-LOOPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,804, dated August 12, 1873 application filed March 19, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, D. MOMILLAN, of Osage, in the county of Mitchell and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Line-Loop; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

- exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a line-loop made of metal, to be used on the ends of lines where the snap-hook is buckled, and does away with all stitching on billets and loops.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in Which Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing the end of a line with the snaphook and my loop. Fig. 2 is a perspective view, and Fig. 3 a section, of the loop.

A represents the end of a line. B is the snap-hook, and O the metal loop. This loop consists of a frame, a, with another frame, 1), extending from one edge at right angles, and another frame, d, extending from the other or opposite edge, but inclined toward the frame I). The outer bars of the two frames b and d are connected in the center by a short bar, h, having a hook, z, extending at one end, as shown in Fig. 3. The extreme end of the line is passed through the frames 12 and d, against the frame a, and then passed through the loop I what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The loop 0, consisting of the frames to b d, bar h, and hook i, constructed specifically as described, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
